Ok I know it has been done but I don't know how yet. When you look at some really nice carbon pieces often you see a nice joint between two pieces of carbon that has been placed in the mold. It is obviously not just cut with a pair of scissors and layed down.
Are the two pieces stitched together like seam in clothing. So that once layed down the frayed edges don't show because they are inside the laminate?
Lets say you are going to place your carbon cloth in a bowl shaped mold. If you cut your carbon in triangular shapes and put them in your mold you would have a freyed look at the joints.
Any advice.
Thanks
Fred

Another trick that I have just stumbled upon is to stick one piece of reinforcement on to the back of another with a little spray tack prior to layup, making a 2 ply fabric that cuts dead sharp and is almost impossible to distort. You will lose a little drape with this method, but no more than you would with the Pro-Finish or the Alu-Fibre...
